Muted demand drags lead futures by 0.49%
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, lead for delivery in January declined 80 paise, or 0.49 per cent, to Rs 163.55 per kg in a business turnover of 438 lots.
Also, the metal for delivery in February slipped 75 paise, or 0.46 per cent, to Rs 163.80 per kg in 13 lots.
Analysts said the fall in prices was because of lower bets by participants on the back of subdued demand from battery-makers in the spot market.
